Sometimes, we’ve got to remember how lucky we currently are as Arsenal fans. While our rivals are sacking their managers, we’re sat here having lost two games all season asking: is our squad a bit too deep?

Today, Luke and Jim are joined by Alex Moneypenny from A Different Knock to discuss what role Martin Zubimendi might play for the rest of the season (see above comment about the squad being too deep).
